Jim! Thank you for the compliment! I think she'll be pretty good looking once all is said and done. Dry-Dock, right! I think @GrantTyler uses them exclusively. Grant? Looking at your Xebec build? In any event I'll be sourcing all of my blocks, deadeyes, hooks etc from them going forward.

Hi Chuck. I love the blocks from Dry-Dock. Once I started using them I couldn’t go back;). Cheers Grant

What are those grooved called where the lanyards rest before passing through the eyes? Also, are the grooves on both sides?

Hi Chuck, I loved the overall view you posted recently. She's pretty!

I'm not aware of the grooves having a particular name. They simply allow the lanyard to run smoothly through the deadeye and lay properly across the face. Yes, both sides.

Paul! Thank you! Next question: what is the bit you used to make the grooves? Source? Please don't say that you've repurposed your old work tools ROTF

I'm particularly thankful for the picture. I like seeing how the sheer pole is attached. Very helpful. As usual!

Blessings.
Chuck
